Hydrangea anomala petiolaris.
Schizophragma hydrangeoides.
There is a very nice parthenocissus that has varigated leaves. Even tho
you said you don't want it, it is very different. People who know
plants see my cuttings rooting and think they are looking at a
variegated pachysandra. (That, however, is under another bench!)
Silver lace vine will bloom in the shade, also. Good luck finding the
botanical name....I've seen it listed as several things. Fallopia;
Persicaria and I can't recall what else.
I believe that Ampelopsis brev. 'Elegans' may perform in shade also.
